Help! won't start after cam installation

[roccolister@hotmail.com (Craig Williams)]

Oh crap!

You need a break after what you wnet through to get that engine running in 
the first place. Well...I think that if it isn't timing (cam or valve or 
distributor) then you must have left a vacuum line open or forgot to hook up 
the coil wire or something dumb like that.

Keep us posted as to what it is when you find it. Good Luck! -- Craig
